A couple of weeks ago I had a migraine. First one for over 10 years (as far as I can remember). Not only lack of water, probably hormones and stress as drivers but my neck was put.
An assessment by my osteo - losing too much muscle strength. I know this is an issue for me and women of my age (thanks ) but I had dropped off my normal weight training before Christmas and not really been able to get back into a routine. So here’s what I’m doing:
- squats and lunges while brushing my teeth for leg strength
- YTW and other upper body work while the kettle boils
- walking daily
It’s not much, but it’s a start, and using the time that is available. No more excuses. Because I don’t want another migraine, I don’t want to lose any more muscle- I need it for brain health, blood sugar regulation and because I miss feeling strong.
